Hello Miki,

I have forwarded this to the Engineering Team for further troubleshooting. Any further developments will be added to this thread.

It can be solved by using any alternative python url encoder in module.py file You could use urlquote pip library in this case First make sure you have pip installed if installed, Install urlquote library via pip

pip install urlquote

Replace py27_urlquote with urlquote Make changes to code by replacing py27_urlquote with urlquote in the import statement and in the code. It would only require replacement in around 3 lines of module.py

Thanks. However the error is from the SDK Python code, not my code (my project is in Go)

This broke in version 358, so you can avoid it by downgrading to <=357. E.g. redhat/fedora:

dnf install google-cloud-sdk-app-engine-python-357.0.0-1

What does it mean to be reported a year later? too late.
